BOULDER -- A video of an SUV trailing two bicyclists while honking and refusing to pass the riders on a road east of Longmont on Sunday morning has amassed nearly 125,000 views on YouTube and has the Colorado State Patrol looking for the motorist.

Dirk Friel posted the video to the video sharing website on Sunday. In the video, Friel and another cyclist are riding to the right of the white line on the right side of a road, which he later told the Times-Call was County Line Road just north of Colo. Highway 52. The SUV can be seen slowly trailing the cyclists as the driver repeatedly honks the horn at them throughout the two-minute clip.

Friel said on Tuesday that there were few cars on the road and he and his friend had had a quiet ride until they heard the SUV approach. The honking started and he said about 40 seconds in he pulled out his phone to take the video because he was worried the incident would get "ugly."

"We were single file even when he approached us," Friel said.

Friel said his blood was boiling during the incident. The cyclists slowed and waved the SUV by, but the honking continued, Friel said.

"At least we kept our cool," he said, adding that they are both experienced cyclists and handle their bikes well. He said the honking could have distracted less experienced cyclists and even caused a crash. He said when the SUV finally did speed by them, it cut so close to his companion that he pushed off the vehicle.

Colorado State Patrol Trooper Nate Reid said that troopers planned to contact the SUV's driver for "enforcement action," sometime Tuesday if possible. He said he did not have information on the SUV driver's hometown or for what he might be ticketed. He added that the trooper also planned to review the case with the Boulder County District Attorney's Office.

"We've got to talk to this guy and get his story first," Reid said.

Officers who went to the motorist's home on Wednesday morning did not find him there.

"Here is what was supposed to be my relaxing Sunday morning ride with my teammate until things became a bit unsettling when an older male driver came up behind us in his Ford Explorer (license plate Colorado 893 EKG)," Friel wrote in the description of the video on YouTube.

In the video's description, Friel notes that he has heard other cyclists have had encounters with this motorist. Reid confirmed that the state patrol has fielded other complaints about the SUV and they are investigating.

Friel founded the company Peaksware in Lafayette, according to his company biography, which also notes that he is a USA Cycling-certified coach and raced professionally for 11 years, including five seasons in Europe. Friel said he encourages his employees to cycle to work.

"Bicycling is not going to go away," he said.

He added that he enabled YouTube's advertising feature and will donate any money generated from it to Bicyling Colorado.
